They both want to be different from each other and other levels. In the NCAA the Men has a committee, the Women has a committee as well. I know that historically the NCAA has tried to be a lot different from the NBA (MLB or even the NFL if you look at rules). In recent years NCAA Women's has made a huge effort to merge with many of the philosophies of the NBA. This really became obvious when the WNBA was started in the mid 90s and it seems like year after year the Women's side adopts a philosophy or mechanic the mirrors the NBA/WNBA. It would also not make it "easier" if the sets were the same, if for no other reason the officials that work Women's basketball or Men's Basketball do not work the other side. A lot of the very top Women's officials work the WNBA during the college off season. Men's officials are only going to work NCAA games and would have to give up college basketball if they got a realistic shot at the NBA. This is why you have the very small details that are very different between all the levels.

Peace
